Dolphins OT James Marten has retired from football.

Marten was the 67th pick in the 2007 draft by the Cowboys, but found himself released prior to the 2008 season. He then bounced around practice squads before deciding to hang up the cleats. An alumnus of Boston College, Marten was one of Matt Ryan's college blockers along with fellow future NFLers Gosder Cherilus, Josh Beekman, Matt Tennant, and Anthony Castonzo.

The former third-round pick from Boston College has been a disappointment in three NFL seasons. He probably won't play much in the final three games, and will have to impress during the offseason to make the 2010 roster. Mon, Dec 14, 2009 04:32:00 PM

A solid risk for a team that can use depth. Marten was an upside prospect coming out in 2007 and has the athleticism needed to play in Oakland's zone blocking scheme. He can't be a much worse bet than Mario Henderson. Mon, Sep 8, 2008 05:11:00 PM

Cowboys signed third-round pick T James Marten to a four-year contract.

Marten signed following the Cowboys first practice. General Manager Jerry Jones said the delay will cost the young tackle as the club's rookie pool money has been spent. Marten will have a chance to play immediately with right tackle Marc Colombo recovering from recent arthroscopic knee surgery.

This is somewhat surprising, as Marten was one of the top athletes in the draft among offensive linemen. The Boston College product could push Marc Colombo for a starting job in 2008. Doug Free is backing up on the left side.

After a 13-catch, 15-target Week 1, Jay Cutler couldn't get the ball to his slot guy in this loss. Last week, Landry led NFL receivers in average yards of separation at target, but he was covered fairly well against a group of subpar cornerbacks. Landry should have every opportunity to go off against the Saints in Week 4.

DeVante Parker caught 8-of-10 targets for 76 yards and one touchdown against the Jets in Week 3.

This was a garbage-time special and Parker's fantasy owners can thank coach Adam Gase for taking a timeout with six seconds left. Jay Cutler hit Parker for the three-yard TD to end the game and avoid the shutout in the 20-6 loss, and Parker had four receptions on that last drive, as well. As bad as this game was for Cutler, Parker should be viewed as a WR2 against the Saints in Week 4.

Like most Dolphins, Scott was the subject of numerous offseason puff pieces. He's competing for the Dolphins' No. 6 receiver job, but that's obviously in jeopardy now. A 2016 UDFA, Scott appeared in two games last season.

Larsen suffered a torn biceps last week. Salguero reports the Dolphins hope Larsen will be one of their return players, but he will at least be sidelined the first eight games of the season. Already thin at guard, the Dolphins are running out of options.
